Combustor interface sealing arrangement

1. A gas turbine engine sealing arrangement comprising:

a combustor liner mountable adjacent a turbine nozzle; and

a flange extending from an outer surface of the combustor liner, the flange establishing a channel that holds a sealing ring assembly to a sealed position against a portion of the turbine nozzle positioned radially between a portion of the combustor liner and the seal.

2. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 wherein the flange is secured directly to the combustor liner.

3. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 wherein the flange establishes a J-shaped channel that holds the sealing ring.

4. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 wherein a collar portion of the turbine nozzle is positioned radially between a collar portion of the combustor liner and the sealing ring.

5. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 wherein the flange is formed from a single sheet of material.

6. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 wherein the sealing ring contacts the turbine nozzle in the sealed position.

7. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 wherein the sealing ring assembly comprises a plurality of separate sealing rings, one of the plurality of sealing rings establishing a first break that is circumferentially spaced from a second break established by another of the plurality of sealing rings.

8. The combustor sealing arrangement of claim 1 , wherein the sealing ring assembly contacts the turbine nozzle exclusively at an radially facing surface when sealed.

9. A gas turbine engine sealing arrangement comprising:

a turbine nozzle including a wall providing spaced apart first and second surfaces;

a combustor liner establishing a combustion area and having an annularly extending collar securable adjacent the first surface and extending axially past at least a portion the first surface;

a sealing ring arrangement configured to seal against the second surface to limit fluid flow from the combustion area; and

a flange extending from an outer surface of the combustor liner and holding the sealing ring.

10. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 wherein the flange establishes a radially aligned, channel that holds the sealing ring, the sealing ring moveable axially and radially within the channel relative to the flange.

11. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 10 wherein the sealing ring is moveable relative to the flange.

12. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 wherein the sealing ring arrangement comprises a plurality of sealing rings.

13. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 12 wherein one of the plurality of sealing rings establishes a first break that is circumferentially spaced from a second break established by another of the plurality of sealing rings.

14. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 12 wherein the sealing rings establish radially directed faces that are transverse to a centerline of a gas turbine engine.

15. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 wherein the sealing ring arrangement is configured to seal against the second surface within one of a single spool gas turbine engine, a two spool gas turbine engine, or a three-spool gas turbine engine.

16. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 wherein the sealing ring arrangement is configured to seal against the second surface within one of a radial gas turbine engine or an axial gas turbine design.

17. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 , wherein a portion of the combustor liner and a portion of the turbine nozzle axially overlap.

18. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 , wherein the sealing ring directly contacts the second surface when sealed against the second surface.

19. The gas turbine engine sealing arrangement of claim 9 , wherein a sealing ring arrangement contacts the turbine nozzle exclusively at the second surface and the second surface faces in a radial direction.
